I could be wrong but, I do believe ALL the filler/drain plugs are pipe thread. The trick is ti identify metric from NPT. At least on everything I have had the plugs were pipe.
For National Pipe Thread plugs, go to the nearest home improvement store... Cheap cast iron parts that will last just short of forever.

It doesn't look like the earlier style are pipe thread as they have a seal under the hex head.
